... from this: Testing QA Notifications[^]
But...when he is done, are we going to get all the "missed" notifications sent to us? If so, could they come from a specific email address, or have a keyword in the subject line, so I can filter them? I get loads of email notifications per day from here as it is, and a months worth of historic notifications (while some of them may be important) will flood my inbox so I can't see the more recent stuff!

When last time it went wrong (and Chris allegedly fixed it - blaming some cache) no missed notification were send...

True: but that didn't fix it and I could live without an email full of a months backlog!

Unfortunately not 
The issue seems to have been an async issue messing with some Webforms code. they don't play nice together. A real PITA to track down.

I got that feeling when he was talking about "code spelunking" yesterday!

I don't like it. It has one or two things on it usually, and sometimes the one thing is something that was there two days prior, also as one of only one or two things. There is no variety. I used to get something that made me come here. Now, if there's one thing and it's on a subject in which I have no interest, I just move on to another email. I don't visit here. If that's what you want, less traffic, then that's fine...I guess. 
I put this here, because I can't find a link that says "Feedback"

I appreciate the feedback.

This is possibly because you have filtered your newsletter tags to just "ASP.NET". You've also opted out to include things like survey results, the list of top articles and the news/editorial. That narrows the scope down a little.
If ASP.NET isn't of interest to you then change it to something else by editing your profile[^] and on the "Newsletter" tab updating your filter.

This is because you've opted to also receive listings of updated articles. An article is posted, so it gets included, and if it's updated later then you'll also receive a notice of it being updated.
We're currently reworking the Daily Build fairly extensively. I'm going to pass this on to the newsletter team.

Chris, thanks for your response.
To be honest, I don't remember ever entering anything in that filter. I also see daily in there, and I know I didn't put that in. The Daily Build says that I've selected that instead of the weekly one, and that is not true. It was selected for me. One day I just started getting them.
As for only ASP.NET coming in...the weekly one had a lot of stuff and all of it wasn't ASP.NET. The last weekly newsletter I got was on June 9. There were all kinds of headings in there. I would read or at least glance at all of them, and those I was interested in I clicked through. Some I saved to my "favorites" so to speak. I never came in here and changed anything as you suggest. I took a screen capture of a portion of that weekly email, but I can't figure out how to include an image in this post. But it shows headings for .NET Framework, ::Workspaces, Algorithms & Recipes, Android, etc. Yes, I save emails...especially those of interest to me like these, and those from places like SQL Server Central. Code Project emails have their own sub folder under my Inbox in Outlook! I only save your code related emails, not the daily news...although I don't delete those right away, either.
The fact remains that there are very few articles in the Daily Build, and often the same ones are repeated. Today was the largest I've gotten so far...five articles! Two new ASP.NET, two updated ASP.NET and one AJAX. Plus something under Research about DB2 databases. Although that might be an ad.
It's nice to know it's being worked on. We'll see how it turns out.

It's simply enough to remove "ASP.NET" from your filters. Want me to clear it for you?

No, I can do that myself, thanks.

....looks far too compact since you added the ToDo list, everything is centred and there's about 2 yards of white space either side of the content.
(I've tried fluid and fixed)

I think, this list was moved here so that before posting bugs, someone can see if the same bug has been posted/in progress or not. But this list is not getting updated.Its same since it has been moved.

Which browser? It works fine for me on fixed and fluid.
Can you send me a screenshot please? chris at codeproject.com

Looks like it might be me, as it appears my Chrome has failed to update for awhile (I'm on vers. 21.0.1180.89 m)
I've sent you the screenshots for the fun of it anyway.

The Flag option gives you the ability to mark it as the wrong type. I'm not really sure that this is the appropriate place to bring this.

I disagree. A tip or a trick is meant to be a small thing, maybe a paragraph or too. This article is short and beginner level, but it's not exactly a quick tip or trick.

If we remove images then it is.

Have to agree with you ... there is no meat to it.
But having said that, there is the report flag so if enough people agree with you (us) then it will get sorted

Generally, once published, there are very less chance that the type gets changed. I noticed it because its revision came into moderation today.

Everything doesn't have to be words. That's very obviously not a tip nor is it a trick. Most of his article content is about visual aspects, so images do make sense. What I'd question is the rationale behind someone writing an MDI/WinForms tutorial in 2014. 13 years too late in my opinion. But that's a subjective thing. Just because this site's about cutting edge programming technologies does not mean we should frown upon someone writing on a legacy topic. Personally I'd love to see an article on 8088 architecture here. Just for the nostalgia kicks!

I'm currently working on an article covering emulation of a legacy system. I saw several article that covers the same subject (NES emulator, x86 emulator...) and they are all over the place. So it would be nice if a new article category could be added, something like "General Programming > Emulation".
